Not necessarily the hook size as you get above 7/0 that doesnt work for me, it is the weight of the jigheads that I need to tie that the vise wont handle with thread pressure. I gotta fund my addiction for fly fishing with making tools for the darkside….
I have a Renzetti Traveler that I bought two years ago. It looks similar to the one pictured above but no brass just black metal. I tie semi commercially and have used and abused this vise for everything from 20s to 6/0 striper bucktails. I love it. My only complaint is that it wont hold the 9/0 jigheads that we use for cobia bucktails here. Im going to have to spring for the Master for that kind of range.
My feelings are to get the feathers off of the meat asap and put them in a ziplock in the freezer for a few days to a week to kill bad stuff. I handle birds that have been dead for a while w rubber gloves but maybe thats just me. I dont hunt but I get a lot of feathered carcass oppurtunities bc I work with a lot of hunters. I have seen dudes get infections from small game, but I have never had the problem. My 2 cents…

Grim Reaper (“see you in h*ll my friend” is my jam)Dude I would try to get someone in Dulac. Very near New Orleans. I have had amazing times there. Ive been in early May twice, and the sightcasting was ridiculous so I feel you would do well in late April.
